37 year old bassist looking to jam and come up with stuff.
Well trying this again after another year. Looking for people to jam and collaborate with for the fun of playing music and creating things.
I play Bass (for about 19 years), have played double bass a bit and can also put things together on a piano and guitar (Though I'm not particularly competent with either by any means) . I was at one point a very confident and technical musician who understood my instruments place within the dynamics of a song. Not as sharp these days due to my playing being more intermittent but the muscle memory is there and it comes back when I get into it.
My favourite types of music to play fall into the math rock/post rock/alternative rock bubble but I also enjoy fusions with electronic and minimalist music and putting things together that wouldn't normally go. Not going to list band as they all have unnecessarily long and complicated names.
Played bass at allot of gigs in allot of bands between 2005 and 2011 playing mostly metal, rock and punk as well as an electro duo where i used an effects pedal to mimic a synth, a one off panto and my final (samba) gig at the 2011 brazilica festival in Liverpool. Then life and work got in the way and everything just went tits up robbing me of all inspiration.
Here's a link to my sound cloud with my various musical ramblings.

Also here's a link to a Youtube playlist of young me playing live here and there. Not the best sound quality and some of the songs where a bit shoddy. Just a bit of Proof.
